| The Boston Bruins. They don't have the big names San Jose has yet they are ripping it up thanks to Kessel, Thomas, and Savard among others. |

| Didn't think they had the horses up front to score and thought their goaltending was good, but not good enough to carry though for a season. DM Vancouver |

Half those teams aren't suprising anyone. The Leafs were supposed to suck, the Sens have been spiraling downward for a year now, the Sharks are LOADED since they picked up boyle and Blake, etc...
The biggest suprises I think have been the Bruins, I barely expected them to be in the playoff hunt, and the Stars, didn't expect them to melt down.
Oh yeah, I expected a little more from T-Bay just based on Lecavalier and St. Louis's combined awesomeness alone. |

| I think it is the Tampa Bay lightning because they made many off-season moves to get malone, roberts and other players, but they still came out dead. |

| The Tampa Bay Lightning. It's suprising that a franchise can become so much of a joke in such a short period of time. |

| I am pleasantly surprised on how well the young kids have come together so quickly and the coaching change no doubt is playing a huge role. |

Hmmm and here I was thinking hockey was a team sport. Oh wait, it is. And that is why Atlanta can't win! Because other than Kovalchuk and Little, their team sucks!
Tha Sharks are loaded but I for one didn't expect them to be THIS good! Especially when Nabakov got hurt for 7 games or whatever!
Biggest Surprise: Boston
Biggest Disappointment: Dallas with Tampa being a distant second
